So far, my recovery from OHS 1 week ago has been textbook. Except for the afib. I had a problem with afib, so the surgeon did a Maze procedure while he had me open.
I had an afib episode while still in the hospital, but it resolved after 15 hours. I came home Thursday and went back into afib Thursday night at about 10:00 PM It is still going after about 20 hours. It doesn't bother me all that much so long as I sit pretty still, but I can't get up and walk around like I need to be doing.
The surgeon's advice is to hold on and see if it resolves. If not, I guess I will go to the local ER and get cardioverted on Sunday. It is a shame because otherwise I am doing so well.
One thing that is really weird is that you have to consciously remember to take deep rather than shallow breaths. I'm working on that part!
